Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Ireland's Skills Needs: Discussion (Resumed)

4:00 pm

Mr. Paddy Power:

Absolutely. I was quite high up where I was working. I was a bar manager and duty supervisor in various places, and was highly skilled in the industry. I took a financial hit at the start but, then again, apprenticeships are associated with low money starting out. When a person gains the skills and experience, they can start moving up and things get better financially. At the end of the day, it was my decision to take that hit, to make a life decision and a career decision.
